    My grandfather William guy Perkins was 15 years old when he marched to Blair mountain with the coal miners he worked with I believe I am the great grandson of either Oakey or Redhorse McCoy

    You know Leo a lot of us come from very ordinary backgrounds so to hear your family stories is amazing . It brings to life how difficult it was living and trying
    to raise a family in those times. and how easy we have it today. Many thanks

    It certainly gives you a good feeling to search your family history and find various members' graves. I know that I have enjoyed working on my family's history, Whoe! It takes time and I certainly am not finished. Matewan is one of those areas in WV that I have not visited. It amazes me how you both just seem to find the most unique and interesting stories. Heather, I always love your choice of music that accompanies many of your videos. Thank you for just loving history and keep up with these awesome videos.

    Supercool cemetery. I really enjoy looking at those old style headstones 🪦 It is great to see that the cemetery is well cared for.
    Very sad story about Anderson.
    Thank you very much Leo and Heather. This was a very enjoyable video. May all those buried in the cemetery rest in peace 🙏

    Thanks for the story. My wife was from Matewan and her parents use to tell some stories about those days. I inherited from them a S&W nickel plated pearl handled .38 revolver that supposedly belonged to Sid Hatfield. What a small world. Heather, if I followed your genealogy correctly on AE Hatfield Jr, his daughter is still in Williamson.

    Hi Leo! I just recently discovered your channel and I’m addicted! My mother is a Wolford and from Beech Creek, WV which is about 30 min from Matewan, so close to Williamson, Logan, etc…I was born in Pike County, KY myself. My grandad was Wolford (obviously! lol) and my Grandma was a Sipple. Her Dad Joey Sipple, had some doings with Devil Anse. He was murdered (from what we know), but I’ve not been able to find where he was buried! Would love to find his grave! Love your channel! ❤❤

    Ancestry is amazing, my cousin has traced his ancestry back to the 1600's back to the old country. He and his wife have actually gone back to Germany meet distant cousins living there and visited the graves. He has gotten pictures. It is amazing to see these old photos and recognize how much we look like those relatives. As for the things that happen within families, we all have those ghosts and heros.

    It was still about the same scenario in Michigan's copper country during the 1913/ 14 strike, the mine owners employed all kinds of goons to try to suppress the striking copper Miners and their families, even directly employing the local law enforcement and sheriff's department to break up labor rallies and marches, the animosity towards law enforcement still exists is up here very prevalent on all of the people of all of the generations even going back to the timber barons in the way they treated the loggers and using local goons to suppress them, there's is not really an outright hatred towards law enforcement it is just a attitude of non-cooperation, 100 people can see a crime being committed then no one saw or witness anything that happened, we have the same attitude the people of Skidmore Missouri had towards their local law enforcement when they let the people down in the name of the almighty dollars. But if you have Heather look up the story you will see that the people of Skidmore handle this problem locally, probably over 100 witnesses and to this day no one has not saw anything.

    First thing I noticed at the cemetery was . Victoria was more than 2 yrs older than Anderson .. Hmm .. Also , pretty crazy that 52 years later she decided to rest by Anderson . That folks is LOVE ! But wait , wait , wait . 23:32 If the mother was born in 1876 and Anderson was born in 1884 , the mom would have been 8 yrs old ?!

    You amd Heather are in a lot of cemetery... I think Heather will like this... You all should try dowsing..get you two metal clothes hanger cut bottom and bend a little bigger them your hand in a fist. cut a couple of pvc pipes to put rod part for hands in. Walk slowly across grave ...if rods open out wards ot is a female buried ,if rods cross it is a male. I have gotten a male /female reading a couple times,ot could have bren a intersex person or a female pregnant with a male baby. Or a male baby was buried with Mom. Trust the rods ... Old cemeteries that have been moved sometimes they didnt move bodies. If person was cremated wont work. This works because of different chromosomes and minerals in our body. Male yx female Xx.
